November 6

Good evening, Hallman Community! This is Jessica Brenden, principal of Hallman Elementary school with your weekly Hallman message. This week at Hallman, we are getting ready for the book fair! The book fair will start next Monday the 13th and continue through the 21st. Special thanks to our library media assistants, Coreina Duncan and Jake Unrein, for putting this together for our school! The book fair will be open to students during their normal library time and after school until 4:00. There will be some open hours during conferences also. The book fair is a great way to get kids reading at home and some of the proceeds from the book fair come back to Hallman Elementary. This week also brings another exciting event: McTeacher’s night! McTeacher’s night is on Thursday from 4:30 PM to 7:30PM at the McDonald’s on Devonshire, NOT the McDonald’s on Portland Road. This event is well-attended by Hallman families and if you miss it, you are missing out! We will see you Thursday night, November 9 at McTeacher’s night from 4:30 PM to 7:30PM at the McDonald’s on Devonshire! Thanks! In other news, I wanted to report back to you that our butter braid and cookie dough sale made about $1000 for our Cafecitos group! If you want to have input about how the money is spent, come to the monthly parent meeting next Thursday, November 16. Most parent meetings start at 5:30 but this one will start at 5:00 so it can end at 5:45 and we can all get over to the bond listening session at McKay to hear more about the bond work planned for Hallman. All of that is NEXT Thursday, November 16 starting at 5:00 here at Hallman, then 6:00 PM at McKay. At Hallman, dinner will be served, items will be raffled to attendees, and childcare is available. See you then! Finally, our fifth graders are starting a service project. They are collecting canned food which will be donated to the food bank over at New Harvest Church. The canned food drive started today and will continue through December 7. Items can be brought to the school and placed in any of the food barrels or given to a classroom teacher. Let’s show this community our generous husky spirit! One final reminder: retakes are tomorrow. Again, retakes are tomorrow, November 7. Thanks for listening and have a great evening!
